A Loo With a View

by Luke Barclay

A delightfully irreverant look at the most scenic bathrooms from around the world! The toilet—it’s small, functional and using it literally involves staring at a door. But for the water closet connoisseur, there are a handful of places where the loo is an area of outstanding beauty.From such fascinating locations as the summit of Mount Fuji and the urinals at the Station Inn in Ribblehead, to the ultimate in bathroom-based entertainment—the view of the Northern Lights from the Trophy Hut Loo, Trophy Mountain, Canada—this is a collection of the most uplifting vistas from the latrines of the world.Now answering the call of nature will take you from the functional to the sublime with the help of this, the perfect bathroom reader.

A book to enjoy sat down for a moment's contemplation.

Good and funny little book. Beautiful views from great toilets, and silly sometimes funny chat. Will be a good toilet book.

Who knew books like these existed. Made my afternoon quite the quirky one.

This book is so amazing. Mostly because it tells me the different toilets with a beautiful scenery behind them. It is really amazing that a toilet can appear in the middle of nowhere, like in the middle of a desert. This book is really worth looking at!

Nifty book, and not in as poor taste as the title would suggest. (I kind of want to try the one at the Japanese aquarium.)
